![]() We slid to a stop and waited for whatever was going to happen, sure that it would be awesome. ![]() Just outside the station a crowd had gathered around three mascots, and a cheerleading squad besides. We had just arrived at Kyoto station after a day trip, and were heading to our hostel. I assume when no one’s around Uji-chan, he gets into all sorts of mischief.īetween Dave and I, I was clearly the most amused by Japanese mascots, but we were lucky enough to stumble upon one that made even Dave go all happy and stupid. ![]() I assume when no one’s around, she’s just a castle. While I find Himeji-chan hilarious, I don’t connect with her so deeply because she’s just a personified castle, and thus my mind doesn’t come up with stories about her. ![]() When I pull out my coinpurse, it reminds of browsing stores and eating or drinking endless samples and the restaurant where we slurped down green-tea noodles and watched the sun on the river.Īnother mascot amused me endlessly, though for a much simpler reason, is Himeji castle’s mascot. Since Dave and I enjoyed Uji so much, having a mascot that personifies that place is nice to have around as a memory. Part of the reason I love Uji-chan so much is because he’s cute, but I think the reason I am still squeeing about him weeks later is because his very existence tells a story and my brain is happy to fill in the details in the form of a mental comic strip: Uji-chan tries out for soccer, Uji-chan needs a nap, Uji-chan’s perhaps had too much caffeine for one day. Enthusiasm in Japan seems to be met in turn. This is not the only time I got something for free because I was so genuinely-to-my-toes excited about something I was getting. Happy with my excitement, the clerk grabbed a full sheet of stickers of the little prince and tossed them in for free. When the clerk bagged the coinpurse in an equally adorably bag, I couldn’t help but squee and babble about how cute he was. Something about him made me unreasonably happy, so I couldn’t leave Uji with an Uji-chan souvenir. Depictions of him range from the normal (drinking tea, eating green-tea treats) to the somewhat unexpected (dressing as a samurai, sleeping in a tea-bowl). In this town of expensive and elegant tea shops, this little prince is everywhere. He’s the toddler-prince of Uji, which is the green tea capital of Japan. Her hairstyle could be a nod to the flamboyant emu plume that some Royal Australian Armoured Corps units wear on their dress uniform hats.This is Uji-chan.Kamonohashi is the Japanese name of the platypus.The platypus is a mammal, but it lays eggs to reproduce.
